Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 890 Adventure R 2023

If you can't get to a place on the 890 Adventure R, you probably can't get there at all on a touring enduro. It is the right choice when things get really rough. Long suspension travel and a high seat underline the serious visual appearance, the 890 Adventure R is no dazzler offroad. All the more surprising, then, that it also cuts a very good figure on the road.

Off-road capable chassis

powerful engine

comprehensive electronics package
